摘要:Aromatic electron donor-acceptor foldamers (aedamers) are a kind of macromolecules often folded into pleated structures via a driving force of complementary electrostatic interactions,which mainly includes three key elements: an electron donor (such as 1,5-dialkoxynaphalene,Dan),an electron acceptor (such as 1,4,5,8-napthalenetetracarboxilic acid diimide, Ndi),and a flexible-linker separator. The folding architectures of aedamers are formed though molecular self- assembling on the level of secondary structures/conformations, also with an increasing research highlight of self-healing functions. Based on the above background, the aedamers were roughly reviewed in this article, focusing on their chain structures, intra-/inter-molecular donor-acceptor synergistic interactions, folding architectures,formation mechanisms,and self-healing functions.

摘要:The adsorption and remove of heavy metal ions is still a real challenge in water treatment. Research for novel adsorbents with excellent properties is the most important issue in remediation of heavy metal pollution. Polyethyleneimine (PEI) is multi-functional polymer material. It was widely used in gene transfer,papermaking,catalysis, flocculant,dye- fixing agent, fiber modification, textile auxiliaries and ion exchange resin. The amine groups of PEI exist in primary, secondary and tertiary forms with a branching site at every 3~3. 5 nitrogen atom in any given chain segment, each with potential to be protonated. Thus, it has a high cationic charge density in acid solution and can form coordination complex with heavy metal ions in neutral or basic solution. As a novel sorbent,PEI has good hydrophilicity, high adsorption capacity, rapid chelating rate, good selectivity and it is also an environment friendly material. The character of PEI has attracted wide attention of researchers, and its applications in detection and adsorption separation fields of metal ions are developing. The adsorption properties of PEI were widely investigated. However, chelating mechanism of PEI was still limited. Mechanism study was summarized including: (1) Coordination process; (2) Electrostatic interaction; (3) Ion exchange effect. On the other side, applications on original PEI were much less due to its leachability and high costs. To solve this problem,research on PEI derivative was developed, including immobilization, grafting and modification of PEI. Moreover, combination of PEI with opto or electrical element to exploit novel photoelectric sensor was also discussed. The aim of this work is give a brief review of research on PEI as novel metal ions adsorbents, as well as its characteristic, adsorption and chelating mechanism. The modification and application of PEI was summarized with emphasis. This review provided a reference for broadening the potential application of PEI and developing new techniques for monitoring and treatment of heavy metal ions.

摘要:Electrospun nanofibrous membranes(ENMS) have a lot of impressive properties,such as high porosity with small pore size. However, widespread adoption of these materials has been hindered by its poor mechanical strength, which caused by the small diameter and lack of effective junction point between fibers. In this study,a post-treatment was demonstrated to the PAN/PVDF-HFP and PVDF/PVDF-HFP composite ENMS made by blending eletrospinning with a thermostable polymer and low melting temperature polymer. The post-treatment involves a 5min thermal calendering process with a pressures of 3MPa under 110℃. During the treatment,the low melting temperature polymer melted partially to form point bonding, bond the nanofibers together. The experimental results showed that the strength of enhanced PAN/ PVDF-HFP and PVDF/PVDF-HFP composite ENMS was 923. 1% and 665. 7% higher than that before treatment, reaching 17. 8MPa and 26. 9MPa,respectively,meanwhile the high porosity of ENMS have also been kept.
摘要:A truncated Gaussian random filed method was employed to generate three-dimensional reconstructed models of polyolefin catalysts based on the porosity evaluated from absorption method and the correlation function from small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) method. It has been found that the reconstructed models have the same porosity and the correlation function as the original catalysts. Moreover, the way to obtain the correlation function of three-dimensional form directly from SAXS method is easier than the process that the correlation function extracted from two-dimensional images is expanded into three-dimensional form. And the correlation function from SAXS method is more abundant and accurate than that from two-dimensional images, because the nanoscale resolution is hardly achieved in some ordinary images but can be characterized by the SAXS method which provides more statistics. The three-dimensional models of catalysts establish the basis for calculation on the effective heat and mass transport coefficients such as diffusivity, permeability, and heat conductivity, and for prediction of the catalyst fragmentation.

摘要:The synthesis of a chiral liquid crystalline monomer (MLC) derived from menthol,crosslinking agent (CA) and cholesteric elastomer (LCE) is reported. Their chemical structures were characterized with FT-IR and 1H NMR. The liquid crystalline properties and thermal stability were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) , polarizing optical microscopy (POM),and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The monomer MLC exhibited enantiotropic broken fan- shaped of a chiral smectic C (SC*) phase, and oily streak texture and focal conic texture of cholesteric phase on heating and cooling cycles. The crosslinking agent CA showed fan-shaped texture of a smectic A (SA) phase and thread texture of nematic phase. The elastomer LCEshowed cholesteric Grandjean texture because of the introduction of the nematic crosslinking unit. This indicated that lightly crosslinked elastomer showed the basic features of polymeric networks with anisotropic physical properties with reversible phase transition during heating and subsequent cooling. The glass transition temperature and clearing temperature of LCEwere 10. 5 and 176. 2℃,respectively. TGA showed that LCEhad a good stability, and the temperature at which 5% weight loss occurred was 339℃.
摘要:In this article, we successfully prepared polyimide (PI) microspheres via polymerization, following the two- steps imidization. The microstructure, morphology, and thermal property were characterized by infrared spectroscopy (FT- IR),scanning electron microscopy (SEM),and thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA),respectively. The results showed the addition of LiCl to PAA-DMF solutions had s significant effects on PI microspheres morphology. At a given polymer concentration, the increase of LiCl content reduced the salvation power of DMF for PAA, leading to the increases of PI microspheres porosity and the decreases of pore size. At the higher Li concentrations,the PI microspheres showed finely porous structure with sponge-like. Additionally, the addition of LiCl had no effect on the thermal properties of PI microspheres.
摘要:Novel guanidine-based antimicrobial polymer with synergistic wet strength and antimicrobial activity was synthesized from Guanidine hydrochloride, hexamethylene diamine,diethylenetriamine and epichlorohydrin. 2D NMR (H- H COSY) was used to characterize the molecular structure of the synthesized polymer. The minimum inhibition concentration of the guanidine-based antimicrobial polymer was investigated as well as its effect on increasing the wet strength of paper. The UV absorption measurements and confocal laser scanning microscopy were also used to further explore the antimicrobial mechanism of it. It was found that the antimicrobial guanidine-based polymer inhibited the growth of bacteria by destroying cell membrane of bacteria and causing the leakage of intracellular components from cells.
摘要:Polypropylene has become one of the most widely used and rapidly growing general plastics, but its application is restricted in some areas owning to its non-polarity. Grafting polar monomers to the PP main chain is one of the most effective methods to improve its polarity. There are several common methods,such as high-energy radiation grafting, UV-induced surface grafting, plasma, controlled/living polymerization, supercritical CO2 assisted grafting etc. Among these methods, supercritical CO2 assisted grafting has been widely applied because of its good solubility to monomers, good swelling ability to polymer matrix, non-toxic,non-flammable,and relatively low cost. In this paper, advances in supercritical CO2 assisted grafting of polypropylene in solid phase were systematically reviewed in several aspects, such as grafting mechanism, selection of monomers,impact factors and application of supercritical CO2 assisted grafting of polypropylene.
